Yobe seeks partnership with development partners on humanitarian response


Yobe state government has sought synergy with local and international
donor agencies in the state to have constant touch at all levels of
planning, survey, implementation and post implementation monitoring.

Executive Secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA),
Dr. Mohammed Goje disclosed this Tuesday at a meeting with development
partners.

“SEMA will be knocking at your doors and shall be in constant touch
with you at all levels.  We shall be going to your mission head
offices in Abuja periodically and brief them on status of your support
to our state.

“The administration of governor Buni is determined to pull together
resources from the government and other sources for sustainable
reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery of livelihood of the most
affected areas to ensure sustainable growth and development,” he said.

Blueprint further gathered that the agency will continue to support and
work with all genuine partners and bridge identified gaps
in humanitarian response through enhanced coordination, capacity
building and strengthening of collaboration with different
stakeholders to achieve a lasting peace and economic prosperity.

While seeking more collaboration from humanitarian partners with Yobe
state government in order to have a harmonised implementation for
better government buy-in to various supports in the state, Goje
promised the development partners and other NGOs in the state of an enabling environment through coordination meetings to facilitate
coherent humanitarian response.
